Game-changing 2027 recruit keeps Illinois football in the running for a commitment

The Illinois football program is trying to put together another 10-win season in 2025.

This hasn’t been exactly the season most had wanted, as the College Football Playoff was the ultimate hope, but the Illini still have a chance to finish out strong.

Illinois has seven wins right now with two very winnable games to finish out the 2025 campaign. A bowl victory would give the program win No. 10, and back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time since…EVER.

Winning now will only help with recruiting in the future, too.
